Description
Matthaus Seutter (1678-1757), "Theatrum Belli per Italiam A[nn]o MDCCXXXIV recentisima et accuratissima Designatio ubi et quam diu Copiae Caesareae castra posuerint, commemoratae sint et cum hostibus conflixerint cum Delineatione praecipuarum Urbium in hac Plaga cura et sumtibus," Augsburg, 1734.
This hand-colored engraved map features a large portion of the Po valley - from Vigevano to Legnano - and highlights the positions of the various armies during the Polish War of Succession in Italy: a particular emphasis is given to the course of the Po and its numerous tributaries, as well as the various Po valley cities, of which the perimeter of the fortified walls is outlined. Of noteworthy interest are the nine panels placed along the upper and lower sides, in which are depicted - in images oscillating between topographical plan and perspective view - as many localities: each of them is flanked, on the right side, by a cartouche containing legend and explanatory notes in German relating to the progress of military operations. Dimensions: Sheet; height: 21 1/2 in x width: 47 1/2 in. Framed; height: 30 1/4 in x width: 56 in.
